AN ANT COLONY.

How the Nurses Who Tend the Baby |
Ants Are PrOtected-The Fighters.
Shall 1 tell you story of two little
sisters who went berrying one bright
summers dayP They picked and
picked away until they had filled their
baskets, and then they set out for
home. On their way they felt tired
and sat down to rest. And where do
you think they satP Why, on the side
of mound that some ants had built.
l wish you could have seen those
ants come out. They are very angry
little creatures when they think any
one is disturbing their home. They
stung these little girls heads and
hands, so the girls thought. But the
ants did not really sting them. They
bit them and then put into the wounds
a tiny drop of poison which made the
wounds sting and burn.
The mounds which these little work
ers build arc from one to three feet in
height, and from two to thirteen feet
wide.
These mounds are connected by COW
cred streets which are dug by the ants
themselves. Parts of these roads are
tunnels, like the tunnel of the Hoosac
railroad. Other parts are like little
bitches, and have roof of sticks.
leaves and earth. 1t is thought that
these roads are made for the nurses, to
protect them from the enemies of ants,
about which you will hear by
and by. Because if the nurses
should be killed, the baby
ants would die for want of
care. If you or should happen to
disturb one of these roads, away
would 90 whole host of ants to re-
pair them.
The mounds are full of little rooms
where the baby-ants are cared for.
Some people think the mounds are
built on purpose for the babies and
their nurses. For the other ants seem
to work outside and have no need of
the covered streets in order to protect
themselves.
If those ant-babies should all begin
to cry what noise there would be-
A thousand babies crying at once, and
the nurses walking the floor with them
would certainly make stir in the
house! The nurse-ants do keep run
ming up and down stairs great deal.
If it be too hot or cold, or too wet, the
baby-ants must be carried up or down
stairs, as the case may be.
The mound builder ant is o delicate
but wide-awake ant When these ants
advance upon their enemies they bite
right and left, but hop about merrily,
to avoid being bitten themselves, II
they are fighting with larger ants, they
Jump up on their backs and seize them
by the neck. That does not seem hard.
" fair, does it? And what seems
meaner still, three or four will capture
one of their foes, and each will pull 6
different way so that the poor creature
can not escape. Then one of then
will spring upon its back and saw it:
head off.
These ants like sweet things to eat

must carry some candy, that they may
have little feast. -Fannte 4. Deane

natives and half-bred Portuguese held
undisputed possession. ! was well re-
ceived everywhere, the people being
extremely hospitable, and among the
curious things that 1 noticed was that
almost every family kept turtles just as
we do pigs. In other words, attached
to nearly every little house was a pen
or corral in which one or more turtles
were confined as the family meat
supply, and killed as occasion re-
quired. The turtles were extremely
large, some weighing two hundred and
fifty pounds, and we're three feet in
length, and proportionately stout and
bulky. 1 found that they formed one
of the most important articles of diet in
the country, and many Of the natives
earned living by catching and selling
them to the richer people
